Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 114 Mind

When Yinhua came to Mrs. Sun's place, she felt quite uneasy. She knew that Zhang Liang had come here earlier, and guessed that he proposed marriage on Xu Mu's behalf, but she didn't know whether Mrs. Sun would agree, and whether she would agree?When Mrs. Sun saw her coming in, and saw that she was wearing a light purple and light pink dress, she looked more sleepy than before, she couldn't help but nodded in relief and took her hand.

"You're a big girl now, too."

"Mother~" Yinhua said coquettishly.

Sun touched her face and saw that the makeup on her face was much lighter, but she looked better than before.It seems that Yinhua's sadness before was not without benefits, at least she no longer painted those eye-catching clothes and heavy makeup.

"You're too old, and you can make up your own mind about some things. I've called you here this time, not for anything else, but for your marriage."

"Yeah." Yinhua nodded shyly.

Mrs. Sun is very satisfied with her reaction, this is what a daughter's family should look like, unlike Zhuhua who has more truths than her when it comes to marriage, and is not shy at all.After putting away her complaints about Zhuhua, Mrs. Sun continued: "It's a coincidence that two families asked people to ask people today. One is Xu Mu. I won't say more about him. You have known each other since childhood; and One is Si Sanlang from the family of the Ministry of Rites, who is also the one who just entered Tanhua. This Si family is also considered a famous family, and there have been officials in the family for several generations. Si Sanlang's two elder brothers are both officials in the court, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister. , the family can be regarded as a big family. You should have met Mrs. Si and Miss Si during the banquet, right?"

"I've touched it." Yinhua said a little stiffly. At first, she had shown her affection to the two, but they seemed to despise her, so she immediately ignored them.

"Although I don't know why his family asked you, we have to give an answer. You can tell me who these two families want to accept more. If you don't want to, it's okay. Let's find out slowly."

Yinhua thought for a while, then said: "Just Xu Mu."

Mrs. Sun didn't expect her to get it so soon, so she asked, "Why?"

"The lesser of two evils."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't like Xu Mu's younger sister and his grandma very much. His mother has always been kind to me, which makes me uncomfortable. But I'm not afraid of what will happen to her. After all, I have my father, sisters and brothers to support me Well. But the Si family is different. Mrs. Si and Miss Si don’t like me, and I don’t like them either. I have seen one of Si Saburo’s sister-in-laws, and they are also bitter. I heard that he is still difficult to serve. Grandma, his father also has many aunts, I still don't want to marry someone who can take concubines at home. But I still want to marry a literati, in this way, only Xu Mu is the only one." Yinhua finished speaking in one breath, her eyes sparkling He looked at Sun with enthusiasm.

Sun smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Only then did Yinhua smile shyly, and returned to the house after saluting.On the way, she was very relieved, but also curious why Si Sanlang would propose marriage to her, and she saw him at the bookstore last time.

Although he only met once, Si Sanlang was deeply impressed by her.He had heard his sister mention Yinhua before, and in his impression Yinhua was a grandstanding woman, and a bit crude.But the Yinhua he saw in the bookstore that day was totally different. She was wearing a moon-white dress with red plums embroidered on it, fresh and moving.She treats people neither humble nor overbearing, and she is not as boring as other ladies, and she has a somewhat cold appearance.In his heart, Yinhua is a mystery. He even thinks that people in the world misunderstand her, so they spread gossip about her to slander her. He can tell from Xu Mu's evaluation that she is such a good girl.

So after he over-beautified, he thought of marrying Yinhua.Under such circumstances, marrying a young lady with an inappropriate family background is easier to reduce the emperor's anger, and it is extremely easy to succeed.While he was waiting confidently, the person who was entrusted to ask questions came to Cheng's mansion with news that he had other plans.

A few days later, Zhang Liang received a letter from his family confirming that Xu Mu's parents agreed to the marriage, and asked Sun about his intentions, and got a positive answer.But at the same time, he also conveyed to Sun another matter that the Xu family had to let Xu Mu return to his hometown, that is, Xu Mu's grandma passed away.

When today's son governs the world with filial piety, perhaps he has experienced the pain of his son wanting to support him but not his relatives, and the requirements for filial piety are even stricter.Grandparents die, and grandchildren cannot marry for three years, but if it is really unbearable, it can be done within a hundred days of filial piety.Miss Jingzhong got married late, and Yinhua was 19 years old three years later, so it is not too late to get married.Xu Mu was one year younger than her, and he was not in a hurry, he was just worried that the verbal engagement was too hasty, and wanted to make a formal engagement with Yinhua in Rexiao.

After rushing home, he cried in front of his grandma's mourning hall, after which his grandma was buried.His grandma was also unlucky in this matter. A few days ago, the news that he had won a Jinshi came back to the village. Grandma was very happy and even made her favorite sugar rice cake to entertain guests.But she has been stingy all her life, and she only has a few pieces of sugar rice cakes for guests, and the rest is a big plate for herself.She ate the sugar rice cake while enjoying the congratulations from the people in the village, and then accidentally choked on the rice cake and went away without being rescued.

Suddenly the happy event turned into a funeral, and the family immediately sent a letter to Xu Mu, and by the way, also replied in the letter about the marriage between Xu Mu and Yinhua mentioned in the last letter from Zhang Liang.Zhang Liang wrote a letter to his family after the results of the examination were announced, no matter what the results of the palace examination were, as long as the two of them did not go wrong, they would not be dismissed again.After Xu Mu's family received the letter, they discussed it and agreed to the marriage.Xu Mu's grandmother and Xu Mu's father agreed, but Xu Mu's mother was a little hesitant.She wholeheartedly wants the girl from the second sister's family to marry, at least that girl is easier to deal with than Miss Qianjin.

When Xu Mu's mother, Mrs. Xu Zhang, was young, she thought that she could marry into a wealthy family. Even if the other party was not a scholar, at least the family had a small fortune.Unexpectedly, this wish came to nothing because Zhang Liang was suppressed, and she finally married into Xu's family.The Xu family's family background is ordinary, and it may be better than other families in the village, but it is far from what she expected. She didn't have a good word to say.

Later she found out that grandma Xu Mu looked down on all women except herself, and was a selfish, mean and mean old lady.But this old lady also has a woman she is afraid of, and that is Mrs. Sun.When Mrs. Sun frightened Xu Mu's father and queen, Xu Mu's grandma once came to make a fuss, but her yelling and scolding annoyed Mrs. Sun. At that time, Mrs. Sun put down her words. Later, she met Xu Mu's father once. Hit once.

Who doesn't have a young and vigorous time, Sun's words have been let out, so naturally he will do what he says.Grandfather didn't care, he also said that adults shouldn't join in when children fight. If the Xu family refuses to accept it, they can let Xu Mu's grandfather fight him.Xu Mu's grandfather is a coward, so it's impossible to fight against his grand grandfather. Xu Mu's grandmother went to ask her natal family to help her, but they refused to stand up for her. No one in the village would speak up for her, let alone Not to mention running to the next village to vent your anger on her.Finally, after Xu Mu's father was beaten up by Mrs. Sun for the eighth time and thrown into the thorn bushes, Grandma Xu Mu gave in.

By the way, Xu Mu's father's name is Xu Shan, and everyone in his family calls him Dashan.There are quite a lot of people named Dashan in the village, which is also one of the reasons why Zhuhua never felt that Cheng Dashan in the history books was actually her father when she was a child.

Later, the Sun family married to Lijia Village, and Grandma Xu Mu wanted to clean up the new daughter-in-law in this village, so she made up a few words.Unexpectedly, before Sun made a move, this bastard Cheng Dashan knocked on the door, took Xu Shan to teach him a lesson, and tied him to a deep mountain for the night, almost driving Grandma Xu Mu crazy.Afterwards, Grandma Xu Mu didn't dare to provoke the Cheng family any more, and only arranged a few words for them in private.

The people in the village didn't dare to associate with Cheng's family at first, and since then they have less contact with each other. Mrs. Sun doesn't care, and only makes friends with Aunt Li's family.However, Mrs. Xu Zhang has a good impression of Mrs. Sun. She just wanted to marry a powerful daughter-in-law and go home to overwhelm the old godly woman at home. That's why she wanted Yinhua to be her daughter-in-law.

Later, when Zhang Liang opened a private school, the old godmother finally became more polite to her, and Yinhua became difficult to control as a daughter, so she gave up the idea.After Xu Mu was promoted, her second sister, who used to always quarrel with her, suddenly became intimate with her, and her daughter was even more respectful to her.After going back and forth, she understood the truth of it. Seeing that her niece is easy to handle, and she can make her a mother-in-law's addiction, she gradually acquiesced.

It's a pity that Xu Mu's side still couldn't make sense, and Zhang Liang also quietly told her that Xu Mu's future was wronged by being so shallow, so she didn't agree.When Zhang Liang's letter came, mentioning her marriage with Cheng's mansion, and explaining the relationship in the letter, she gave up her previous thoughts.The rest of the family also wanted Xu Mu to marry Yinhua, only her daughter Xu Lan seemed reluctant.

After Xu Mu returned home, he told his family about his ranking, and the difficulty of obtaining an official position with this ranking in the past. Even his uncle is still staying in the capital to run an official position, not to mention the expenses involved. If you invite someone to dinner, they won't go.Even though he had only followed behind his uncle and never made his mark, he was clear in his heart, and telling his family about this was to keep them from getting lost.He saw that his younger sister was like this now, she was picky about marriages, and wanted to marry and become the wife of an official.He saw the demeanor of the ladies in Beijing, and then looked at Xu Lan, and felt that she was ruder than the maids in the city, and he didn't know which official didn't have eyes for his younger sister who was a top three Jinshi.

Xu Lan didn't know what Xu Mu thought of her, and she wouldn't care if she knew it. Anyway, in Xu Mu's eyes, she was always inferior to the Cheng sisters.

After Xu Mu convinced his family thoroughly, the Xu family planned to go to Beijing to return their relatives while it was hot, so as to avoid complications.According to what Xu Mu said, Ding You, a top three Jinshi, probably won't be able to find a job after three years, and now they have to favor the Cheng family even more.
